A promenade dance or promenade,[1][2] commonly called a prom is a dance party for high school students. This event is usually held near the end of the school year.

At a prom, a "prom king" and a "prom queen" may be revealed. These are honorary titles awarded to students elected in a school-wide vote before prom.[3][4][5]
